There was a complaint about Rep. Chaffetz's criticism of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama. First of all, I agree with Rep. Chaffetz. Pres. Obama has done nothing to be recognized for anything, other than perhaps apologizing for us being Americans, and being the greatest nation on earth.

Of course, I guess it should follow since the award has certainly been diminished in the past by awarding the prize to the likes of Yasser Arafat, who was a Palestinian terrorist, and Jimmy Carter, the current Israel-blaming ex-president, and Al Gore, who did nothing except make up alarmist stories about "global warming" which have been found to be false.

In other words, the Nobel Peace Prize has become a farce.
